What are the advantages and disadvantages of separating PHP and HTML content?
The advantages mostly pertain to code readability, which in large applications plays a huge part in the maintenance of the application.
The disadvantages are that it sometimes makes advanced functionality hard to execute. Most of the time, it can be done and still keep the two separate, but it’s often much simpler and easier to just insert php snippets into html code or vice-versa if its just a small amount of code.
It’s a trade off between ease of execution in certain cases and readability. For the most part, I would recommend trying to keep them separate.
